Nettles make great soup. Gather about two or three carrier bags full of young leaves (before the plant starts to flower). Fry a little onion (don,t you always for a soup?), add a couple of litres of water or light stock (chicken, vegetable ...), fling in the leaves and boil away. Run through a liquidiser if you like. Add nutmeg and/or sour cream to taste. Yum.
